RMAN MAXSETSIZE & MAXPIECESIZE

The docs advise to set MAXSETSIZE to the maximum file size supported by
the OS (or the media manager).
Wouldn't it be best to use MAXPIECESIZE instead? Otherwise, what's the
usefulness of MAXPIECESIZE?
I'm also wondering why MAXSETSIZE must be set globally or for each backup
whereas MAXPIECESIZE must be set for each channel...
